Our front page story this week focuses on the continuing fall out from the administration of Realtime Worlds.

A thorough investigation by Business7 learned a company which had bought some of the intellectual property and assets from the failed computer game developer was headed by one of its former directors Ian Hetherington.

Two venture capitalists which had backed the Dundee business were also involved in the sale.

The buyer, Kimble Operations, was extremely secretive in its dealings even getting administrators Begbies Traynor to agree to a confidentiality clause regarding who had bought the Project MyWorld offshoot.

The price of the sale is still being kept firmly under wraps but is understood to be less than the £3million Realtime Worlds owes to its trade creditors.

Even so there is nothing illegal in all that but it must leave a bit of a sour taste in the mouths of the 200 people who used to be employed at the company.

We also have a fascinating interview with Gilad Tiefenbrun this week.

The Linn Products story is already a remarkable one and Gilad seems intent on building on that heritage.

Yet aficionados from around the world continue to see Linn as being a real leader in the field of sound reproduction.

Its heritage and reputation are well known in the industry but that hasn't stopped it having difficult times.

Redundancies and restructuring were done a few years before the recession, meaning it entered the downturn in a relatively strong position.

Now Gilad's digital and software experience are helping to lead the business into new product areas while also seeing its record label thrive.

It also shows how SMEs can invest millions in research and development and really reap the benefit of that.

Finally whoever did leak Defence Secretary Liam Fox's letter to the Prime Minister about the "grave consequences" of "draconian" defence cuts may find themselves in quite a spot of bother.

While David Cameron has tried to quell fears the rather daring leak once again brought the issue back to national attention after a relatively quiet few days.

It is something I have said before but is worth emphasising again. The cancellation of the two Navy aircraft carriers would have catastrophic consequences for the industrial future of our nation. It would rip the guts out of the Scottish ship building industry.

Thousands of skilled workers - across several generations - would be thrown onto the scrap heap.

Scottish Secretary Michael Moore will have been left in no doubt of the seriousness of the situation during his visit to the Scottish Chambers of Commerce annual dinner.

It was good to hear sources reporting dozens of hours have already been racked up at defence sites around Scotland by the team putting the Spending Review together.

The UK Government is still straining to make it clear no decision has yet been made on the £5billion aircraft carriers.

However, the only thing which Scotland wants to see is a green light to continue the contracts. If that doesn't appear it will make next year's Scottish parliamentary elections even more interesting.
